The Role

As a Treescape Curator, you will help conserve and enhance all of the Royal Parks through resilient, biodiverse and beautifully curated tree landscapes.

Specifically, you will focus on opportunities for new planting, strategic pruning and thinning, and long-term tree management, playing a key role in the selection and introduction of suitable species and cultivars for future generations.

Additionally, you will:

• Build strong relationships across internal teams and external experts

• Contribute to park management plans aligned with the overall tree strategy
• Manage work to enhance views, vistas, and support landscape improvements
• Oversee sourcing of new plant material and the management of the new tree nursery
• Provide leadership and ongoing support for the setup of a new tree growing facility, planned to be located in Bushy Park

About You

To be considered as a Treescape Curator, you will need:

• Experience working at management level in curated landscape settings with an emphasis on the aesthetic integration of trees
• Demonstrable experience working in public-facing spaces, with sensitivity around tree removal, pruning, and relocation
• Experience leading change and achieving outcomes across multi-site teams or functions
• Broad knowledge of native and non-native tree species and cultivars
• A strong understanding of best practice tree care balanced with landscape and visitor experience needs
• Engagement with the wider arboricultural and horticultural industry to keep pace with resilient species understanding and pest/disease insights
• A Level 4 Diploma in Arboriculture or equivalent

Other organisations may call this role Arboriculturist, Tree and Landscape Manager, Arboriculture Curator, Tree Strategy Lead, Tree Management Specialist, or Urban Tree Landscape Planner.
